Have you considered doing any books about the General or the Admiral from the Vor series? The stories about the General, Miles Grandfather, really are something that I would have loved to see. Or anything else in that series coming down the pipe? Love your stories. So thanks!
Lois McMaster Bujold
That's a frequently asked question, but no. At least not at this time.
Nothing in the pipeline at the moment -- I've been slacking this winter. Or at least re-Covid-sheltering with, at my fingertips, a million Amazon insta-large-print ebooks, most of which I don't want to read, and ten million hours of streaming media, most of which I do not want to watch. It's certainly a post-scarcity world with respect to entertainment. I'd long noticed that information wealth was non-Malthusian, and now it's demonstrated. Brave new world.
Out of all that, I'm glad you have found and like my tales!

Does the Duchy of Orbas correspond to a specific real-world place? I have asssumed it to be vaguely based on the various Balkan countries, positioned as it is to the south of Cedonia, which appears to be based on Greece (in your inverted version of Europe). Do you have a more specific inspiration for Orbas? And ditto for the city of Vilnoc?

I've read my way through almost the whole Vorkosigan series in the last couple of weeks, and enjoyed them thoroughly. Have you ever done any "dream casting" of actors/celebrities as your characters? (As someone who has a hard time drawing a mental picture from text, especially when it comes to faces—it's a weird neurological disconnect—I'd love to be able to "see" them as you visualized them.)
